First you have to make the starter and let it set for 3 days:

STARTER RECIPE:

1 C. Flour

1 pkg. or cake yeast

6 C. unsifted all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. soda

Let rise in warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.

Mix soda with 1 cup of flour ; stir into dough.

Turn out onto floured board; knead in remaining 1 cup flour.

More flour may be added if necessary. 

  Knead until dough is smooth and not sticky. 

Shape it into large round loaf or 2 oblong loaves.
